Calvin, you have some serious skills. Beautiful work. Did you make pressure plates as well? Have you thought about a small run of release levers for OCC members ? That would be awesome. Looking forward to more photos of your creations.
Chris

I'd like to have that custom setup on both my manuals. Curious how the aluminum would hold up versus steel... Very nice work..

We ran the crap out of ours, so I know them top to bottom, but they are rough, and one has close to a million tool changes. They are super easy to work with, diagnose, and repair. I've never worked on a TM, but they are covered in one of the service manuals I have, and they look like a very nice machine. You do nice work and could make some nice money on the side, making Cub parts. I told my wife I'll quit my job if I ever get one, and just make Cub, Harley, Jeep, and gun parts for a living. Keep up the good work!

I am building a new pulling tractor and would love to use that on the tractor if you ever decide to make more of them!

I don't know how well it would hold up to lots of torque. I made it primarily because it looks cool, and I needed a new one. I would make more, but I would have to charge about $150 to cover my costs. I guess if somebody wanted to pay that...

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
